stephanie lives in Crawley with her dad and on 13th may they are having a prom for their leaving do at school. i've had great pleasure in getting her a pastle pink gown, and silver accessories, and her sister has paid for her to go to the hairdressers on the day for hair and make up , over 250.00 for the night but she'll feel like a princess. well worth it. all we got when we left school was flour and eggs, well my friends did, i left at the xmas so missed out due to first time error, but she's now 26yrs. TAKE CARE SANDRA

Hi Sandra, Although it is a very expensive evening, it is a very special time for our kids. A couple of years ago my daughter attended her prom, and once dressed and made up with hair looking absolutely beautiful she said that she felt like was getting married. She and her friends arrived at the venue in style in a gorgeous white limosine. She felt so grown up and had a fantastic time. I hope your daughter has a brilliant time too! Ann

Sandra, My daughter had her prom a year ago.She had a wonderful time -dont forget your daughters camera and a book to exchange names and addresses.They all clubbed together to produce a memory yearbook ,something i wish i had- Its so easy to forget names or faces once you leave school. Hope your daughter has a wonderful time Elaine.x(down the road in Southwater).

I'm sure she'll have a wonderful time. My daughter's is is June and she hasn't even got the dress yet! Hopefully she'll find exactly what she's looking for when we go out for it next week.

My son had his prom last year. He looked so grown up in his suite and his girlfriend, at the time, looked beautiful. They had arranged to go with another couple in a limo. They were all so looking forward to it and parties later too. Cost us a fortune. It all went a total flop. The other couple split up days to go, so no limo. The night was a disaster, loads of kids drunk and falling out. My son was upset for weeks after! Hope this one goes better. We are saving for my daughters next year now!
